President Obama's 2013 State of the Union address is over—and now it's time to get to work on turning the agenda he laid out into law. Read the email the President just sent out to Democrats, then chip in whatever you can to help us accomplish his vision.

From day one, President Obama's first order of business has been to reignite a rising, thriving middle class—a message he carried to Congress and to the American people at last night's State of the Union address.

Whether he was making the case for a balanced approach to reducing our deficit and rebuilding our economy, comprehensive immigration reform, or smart investments in manufacturing, infrastructure, and education, the President made it clear that our North Star must be "a growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs."

That's exactly the message that Americans across the country woke up to today:

Tonight, President Obama laid out his vision for our country in his State of the Union address: continuing to rebuild our economy, strengthening our education system, and passing much-needed comprehensive immigration reform.

Our chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, emailed her initial reaction after she left the speech. Take a look at her note, then add your name to say you support the agenda President Obama outlined tonight.

Friend --

I just walked out of the chamber, and -- wow -- I still have goosebumps. I couldn't be more proud of our President.

Let President Obama -- and all my colleagues in Congress -- know you support his plans for the coming year:
